Ipamorelin impurity profile

Every named species the index has reported alongside Ipamorelin, how often, at what level, and what its presence implies about the synthesis or the handling. Reporting threshold is 0.05 % area; anything below it is invisible to this page and is silently added to the main peak.

des-Lys (−128 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.22 min on RG-2
Mass difference
-128.095 Da
Reported in
188 of 204 records (92 %)
Level when reported
median 0.08 %, max 0.96 %
How it separates
Close-eluting on the reference method, and merged with the main peak on a short gradient. The index prints the resolution figure for such a pair and applies no criterion to it — where the two are not separated, what matters is that the integration convention is stated.

[D-Trp]-epimer

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.12 min on RG-2
Mass difference
mass-identical — chromatography only
Reported in
167 of 204 records (82 %)
Level when reported
median 0.07 %, max 1.14 %
How it separates
Chromatography only. A gradient long enough to separate it; no mass spectrometer of any resolution will.

oxidised Trp (+16 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.34 min on RG-2
Mass difference
+15.995 Da
Reported in
159 of 204 records (78 %)
Level when reported
median 0.13 %, max 1.27 %
How it separates
Baseline-resolved on the reference method.

C-terminal free acid (+1 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
+0.18 min on RG-2
Mass difference
+0.984 Da
Reported in
157 of 204 records (77 %)
Level when reported
median 0.07 %, max 0.89 %
How it separates
Close-eluting on the reference method, and merged with the main peak on a short gradient. The index prints the resolution figure for such a pair and applies no criterion to it — where the two are not separated, what matters is that the integration convention is stated.

Aib-deletion sequence (−85 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.28 min on RG-2
Mass difference
-85.053 Da
Reported in
157 of 204 records (77 %)
Level when reported
median 0.06 %, max 0.83 %
How it separates
Close-eluting on the reference method, and merged with the main peak on a short gradient. The index prints the resolution figure for such a pair and applies no criterion to it — where the two are not separated, what matters is that the integration convention is stated.

Degradation pathways

Degradants are a handling finding rather than a synthesis finding. A lot that shipped clean and arrived oxidised tells you about the courier, not the chemist.

  • Trp oxidation on light exposure
  • C-terminal amide hydrolysis
